Maddow Reporting Now

[Nokillmessanger]

Fairfax county will not be able to process absentee and early votes due to equipment failure.

[Drunken Irishman]

1. Tonight? Indefinitely? Not for a few hours?

[Nokillmessanger]

5. Unclear

Sounds like it could be a long night in up there

[honest.abe]

2. This sounds suspicious.

4. +1, I don't trust MAGA

[FBaggins]

9. Then stop sounding like one

Fairfax is firmly in Democratic control. I absolutely expect the MAGA crowd to claim that it's rigged if it puts us over the top (it is indeed our best-remaining hope)... but let's not feed that fire, hmmm?

12. ... said those who thought 1/6 could never happen. I don't believe MAGA still gets the benefit of ..

3. But, but, but some are professing that early voting says we already lost. .........

6. If I live to be 1000 I will NEVER get over how many Americans vote for their actual

physical, life and death destruction.

7. Absentee ballots

It is only mail in ballots that are the issue.

[Budi]

8. Also, & I just read this. "Absentee ballots may be accepted until noon on November 5th. Therefore...

2021 November General

Absentee ballots may be accepted until noon on November 5th. Therefore, results are incomplete. Results will be certified on November 15th

https://results.elections.virginia.gov/vaelections/2021%20November%20General/Site/Statewide.html

It's so early in the night's counting process, but the results won't even be certified till Nov 15, due to absentee ballots.
Don't know what % are absentee, or if they make a big difference in the end result.

10. Well then Thank the gods that brought Marc Elias to Virginia .

We need a watchdog prepared to hold RW cheaters accountable.
And surely there will be some wrench thrown in the mix.
Something that sets up a challenge for legitimacy by the Repubs.

11. THAT'S real convenient. 🙄. nt
